Hi Marion! I am always happy happy happy to see a new face in Zanzarah! Please feel free to ask away! I've found so much good help here!! And of course the game itself, well, we have already established that I'm a freak! Oh wait! That was president! haha!!!

Agent Provocateur! Thank you for the tip! I was alway trying to do it by the air eddie on one side! I couldn't quite jump onto the other wall! So tell me, what IS that eddie for then? Just to tease me?

Looney,Your face is gone..I played the last part of the game with a couple of the metal fairies..can't remember the names but the one that looked like a spiderman when evolved and one of the females..they were great in final battle for me.

Don't get to combine fairies, but as they level up, will get a joker circle or spell which means can use another spell that doesn't require more circles/squares. Really nice with defense spells when can use one that will protect them from their weaknesses. On offense, can sometimes sneak in a lucky hit when the other fairy is strong against your fairy's normal attacks.

If remember right the path to the mountains are on the other side of the pixie hunter's house. If you're not sure what you should be doing, talk to Ralf?. He should be pacing in the valley where you first enter the pixie world.

My fairies were both male and female. Think all the rock ones were males. The rest were both.

I am pleased this thread seems to have inspired a few more members of the appreciation society. The week after next I will be having a lot of spare time so hope to play more on this game. The withdrawal symptons were tough today but I was strong and did some photo scanning instead when I visited my parents.

I have been reading a walkthrough and discovered that I don't need to beat the shadow elf to get the earth tablet (I think thats what I am looking for). However he has beaten me twice so I will be leveling up until I can beat him. Ha!

Ingie, thank you very much for your kind comments and wishing me good luck on finishing Zanzarah this time. I'm really enjoying it so far, and chose a stone fairy for starters rather than the nature fairy I had the last time around. I didn't diversify enough last time and never got certain fairy groups up to high enough levels, so this time I am going to make sure that I spend a lot more time training at least one from all groups.

Looney, your mentioning the Realm of Clouds brings back such good memories! I can't wait to go there again; I remember last time what an experience it was to see it for the first time.

I am also playing the game with a video card that's a step up from last time, too, and that makes the whole world look even more beautiful than it did before.

I am not sure if I will be doing any of the Zanzarah lovers here a favor by pointing out this link but I am going to post it anyway. This is from the German portion of the Zanzarah forum and the first post on this page has links to some of the screenshots from the Zanzarah sequel/add-on that never came to pass.

I found this the other day and it almost drove me nuts thinking that this game will probably never be published. But the screenshots are so neat that I didn't want any of you to miss seeing them. And Looney, take two Advil and drink plenty of fluids.

Had a great session at the weekend. Have given up on the Shadow Elves in the swamp as their fairies are just sooo hard. I now have the Nature card and, rightly or wrongly, am on my way to the Dwarf Tower. Once again the graphics are brilliant.

Have also figured out that as a fairy increases in experience the colour changes on their experience screen and that's why I thought some spells were part nature and part water.`

Glad you figured that out Jude and that you're enjoying the game.There is so much to it and so many different areas to explore.You're right in backing out of an area if too tough right now. You'll get beefed up in no time
